Antelope Island Causeway

  I saw the 5 Whimbrels, counted 492 Black-bellied Plovers, and saw 2 Red 
Knots at 5:30 p.m. yesterday.  I saw insanely high numbers of Sanderlings 
along the causeway-793 on the north side from mile marker 3 to the island (I 
counted 182  when looking for the Curlew Sandpiper 2 weeks ago). It seemed 
that there were just as many on the south side from mile marker 4 to the 
island.  At 7:30, I stopped to look at the mudflats again, and saw a flock 
of 14 Red Knots, but the Whimbrels were gone.  Didn't get a chance to make 
it to Garr Ranch.
